Ex-footballer Joe Cole launches new NHS hospital garden

Former England footballer Joe Cole has launched a garden designed to promote well-being at a hospital.

Located at the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham, the garden is planned to be the first of several in the country.

The aim is to allow staff, patients and visitors to “connect with nature” and “rest, reflect and recuperate”.

Mr Cole played for West Ham United, Chelsea and Liverpool and won 56 caps for England.
